Bin Preference A bin is a location for an item in a warehouse. You can have multiple bins for an item if required, and inventory can be moved from bin to bin using the Adjust Inventory function. You can also establish automatic bin transfers. All of this information about a bin is maintained in the Edit Bin screen. To edit or delete an existing bin for the item, select the Bin
Number using the pull-down menu and press the EDIT button to
display the Edit Bin screen. Note: To force all of customer order's line item to be pulled from one bin, check the box Back order item if it cannot fill completely from a single bin. This is important for companies selling items like fabric that must all be one dye or color lot for each line item. For these types of companies, each dye or color lot should be given a dedicated bin. Shared Inventory Module Users: Inventory from other companies will appear as separate bins for your stock item as long as the stock number entered for this item matches the stock number in your other company. G/L Department M.O.M. enables you to define sub-accounts (departments) for individual products or groups of products for three different accounts. Revenue Departments for these accounts are created using the G/L Interface function. By creating departments for each of your major product groups, for all/any of these accounts, you can post sales to your external G/L software by product or product group. |
